Anthea stood there in a daze, looking at him obsessively.
Adam took back his big palm, turned around, and walked to the door again.
Anthea came to her senses and ran after him for two steps. He paused and looked at her with his dark eyes, which showed no emotion, "Anthea, you should go to bed early. Tomorrow I'll take you to have another hot pot!"
The door was closed.
Anthea sat back on the sofa. Thinking of what she had done just now, she blushed and felt ashamed.
She could not understand him. In the end, there seemed to be a hint of helplessness in his tone.
But at least, he didn't drive her away...
This was enough to make her happy.
Anthea picked up the wonton again. Although it was cold, she still ate happily. She was so satisfied that she closed her eyes.
The next day, she woke up early.
After having a half-full breakfast, Anthea kept her belly empty and are expecting to have a hot pot with him at noon.
The hot pot only for the two of them.
The comers of her mouth curled up as she immersed herself in joy.
When the sun was getting brighter outside the window, Anthea looked at her watch. It had passed 11 o'clock. She picked up her cell phone and was ready to call him.
It seemed that he could always guess what she was going to do. The moment she opened the phone book, he called her.
"Anthea, I can't take you to have a hot pot today."
After listening to his words, Anthea's little face was suddenly covered with disappointment. She suddenly stood up and asked, "Why?"
"I'm a little uncomfortable." Adam explained.
Upon hearing this, Anthea asked in a hurry, "Uncle Adam, are you sick?"
"Yes, I caught a cold," Adam replied.
On the line, she seemed to hear some faint coughs. Anthea became anxious. "Did you have a fever? Is it serious? Did you go to the hospital?"
"There's no need." Adam said.
Anthea frowned, "Did you take medicine?" "No, it doesn't matter." Adam said. As soon as he finished his sentence, he coughed twice.
Anthea knew that it was because of her that Adam did not returned to the army for the past two days. He should be in the dormitories downtown. She asked, "Uncle Adam, where is your dormitory?"
Adam seemed to tell her the address by a slip of tongue, and urged, "Have lunch by yourself. There is a restaurant in the hotel. If you want to go out, be careful and don't take illegal taxi."
Hanging up the phone, Anthea didn't have the mood to eat.
She put on the sneakers and walked out of the room with her backpack. When the elevator reached the first floor, she went straight out.
There was a pharmacy with a green plaque on the opposite of the street. Anthea ran across the street and said after entering, "I want medicine to treat cold!"
After paying, she took the bag with medicine and stopped a taxi.
The driver arrived at the address she had mentioned. Half an hour later, the taxi was parked steadily in front of an apartment building.
After Anthea registered at the guard's room, she went in successfully.
She came out of the elevator on the 12th floor. There was a brick-red security door, and she went up to knock on the door.
Footsteps came from inside.
The door creaked.
The door was pushed open from inside, and Anthea couldn't help but took a step forward.
She grinned, revealing two faint dimples in her cheeks. "Uncle..."
The second word was stopped abruptly on the tip of her tongue, as if her whole body had been nailed to the spot.
The person standing in front of the door was not Adam, but Mira.
